One of the novels that galvanized W. Somerset Maugham's reputation as a literary master

The Moon and Sixpence follows the life of one Charles Strickland, a bourgeois city gent whose dull exterior conceals the soul of a genius. Compulsive and impassioned, he abandons his home, wife, and children to devote himself slavishly to painting. In a tiny studio in Paris, he fills canvas after canvas, refusing to sell or even exhibit his work. Beset by poverty, sickness, and his own intransigent, unscrupulous nature, he drifts to Tahiti, where, even after being blinded by leprosy, he produces some of his most extraordinary works of art. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is an unforgettable study of a man possessed by the need to create--regardless of the cost to himself and to others.

Cute, sturdy, versatile
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Off-white Faux Leather
I bought several pairs of these to get the right sizes lol. I originally purchased for my 9 year old xoxo for a vacation but I got a too big, my 13 year old grabbed them tried them on and LOVED them. So, I ordered three more pair, found the right size for my 9 year old and sent the other two back. These are cute, versatile, sturdy, and GREAT price. I live that they buckle, are closed toes, but airy. Can dress up or down.

Nice sandals, but run a little big
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather, Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather
I got these for my oldest daughter, I tend to order a little big so my kids can wear them a little longer. These are a little bigger than expected, however. Not a big deal for us since she has other shoes to wear at this point....BUT I don't think most people would be happy if they not be able to use the product immediately. At any rate, these appear to be very well made. The cushion resembles adult style padding as it's pretty firm. The velcro strap works well and is a good choice for kids. Lastly, these were $25 at the time of testing which is on the high side for kids sandals. These are made of faux or PU leather, so a little surprising. I would expect that price to come down a little to be competitive. Overall though, pretty decent sandals that run a little large.
